[sdiy] CA3080 replacement (was: Searching for a VC Clock schematic ......)

[Dave Kendall]

Hi all.

I think there was a thread in the (extinct) EFM forum about this some time
back. IIRC, it was regarded by some as an inferior part. Dunno. I'd like to
know for sure. I've got some un-built EFM ADSRs and VCOs that use 3080s, so
finding a substitute would be good.....
Does anyone know a UK source?

cheers,

Dave
